Secondly, this country is so decisively divided; especially politically that just being in the opposite political party is enough to set a person off. Just watch the news from the standpoint of what I just said and I promise you that you will see examples of this story after story.
That old live and let live philosophy simply is dying out...and it is a heartbreaker

I can so relate to your above words.........especially, who you can trust to "get" you and "understand" you. We are fortunate to have them, aren't we?
Again, more power to your words........I agree with your statement above.
